Hi members,
I have searched but cannot find length of chain 1/2 x1/8 required. Is 38 inch 72 links enough ?

Have you tried Richard Blackburn, he should have it.

The two main chain suppliers, “Sprockets Unlimited”, and “The Chain Man” (Andy Forsdick), both recommend running a wider and MUCH stronger 1/2″ x 3/16″ chain on the existing sprockets IWIS/JWIS do one that was used on the final drive of racing 125cc Hondas, so it is well up to the job. 68 pitches and a spare connecting link. Roger Moss also recommends it…

The home of scott technicalities is Australia with Steve Enticott, in case you do not have a free copy.

Lots of info on chains from early Yowl copy. Regards.

Thanks for info, I know where to buy but don,t know how much to buy.
Scottparts seem to have a maximum length of 72 links.

As per my previous posting, 68 pitches and con link …. As specified in “Technicalities”.

I’ve just received one this morning from Andy Forsdick. The particular JWIS chain to ask for is P83V. It cost me £18-00 plus £3-80 P&P.

My only caveat is to mention that the spindle height of K series magnetos is higher than M series mags, so the taller mags may need another couple of pitches.
